what type of adhesive do you use for stone tile in a kitchen?

Basic mastic or any modified thin set will bond tile / stone tile or even stone to a dry wall surface. Make sure its primed ( the dry wall) or sealed..

And DON T use PL 600 because its a construction adhesive or contact cement , that won t give you a proper bond.

Natural Stone Adhesive

Never purchase a tile adhesive because it is cheap and steer well clear of the combined tile adhesives and grout as these products are normally much less effective than a separate tile adhesive and grout.

Natural stone tiles such as marble are very easily stained and great care must be taken when fixing or handling them. You may also have to seal the tiles before you can grout them or you may stain the tiles with the grout. Rapid or fast setting adhesives sound like a good idea

LATICRETE® 317 Floor N’ Wall Thin Set Mortar is one option.

Be sure the surfaces to be glued are very clean and use 3M Contact cement
